2009: 2 Murders in JSQ (28 in Jersey City)

Del — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 20:55:28 +0000

In 2008, there was zero murder here in Journal Square. Last year (2009), there were two – one in Marion Neighborhood, and the other just a couple of blocks away.

The Jersey Journal created a map that plots all murders/homicides that occurred in Hudson County in 2009. Jersey City’s homicide/murder rate went up from 27 to 28, which include the killing of Police Officer Marc DiNardo last summer.

Below is the details of the murder charges in Journal Square, extracted from the map:

1054 West Side Ave
Dareus Burgess, 28, of Jersey City, is shot to death June 8 in a playground at 1054 West Side Ave. Anthony Rose, 25, of Jersey City, has been charged in the murder. JSQJC Link

111 Van Wagenen Ave
Manuel Reyes Sr., 48, of Jersey City, is stabbed to death in his apartment at 111 Van Wagenen Ave. in Jersey City on May 6. Esteban Gonzalez, of Union City, is charged with the murder. JSQJC Link

Jersey City Crime: Cops Stabbed, Suspect Shot

A Van Wagenen woman died after she was shot by a cop responding to a domestic dispute. What a terrible week for Jersey City as far as crime is concerned.

….
Police were called to the apartment at 87 Van Wagenen Ave. (Del: Map ) by the husband of the woman, said Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio.

When two police officers entered the apartment, they were confronted by the adult woman — whose identity wasn’t available — wielding a large kitchen knife, DeFazio said.

When the woman stabbed one officer in the hand, the other officer opened fire and the woman was hit with a number of rounds, he said….

Jersey City Sidewalks: Handicap Curb Ramps

Del — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 09:00:56 +0000

New handicap curb ramps can be seen on Sip Avenue (corners of Garrison, Romaine, and Van Wagenen Avenues). Is this part of the repaving funds that Jersey City received last March?

This was started early this week, and you probably have noticed orange drums and cones on each corner. These constructions were the same ones on Vroom Street few weeks back (not posted here).

I believe handicap curb cuts are required by law.

Anyway, I’m still waiting for the repaving of Sip Avenue, particularly on the west of Bergen Avenue — from HCCC Culinary Arts Plaza to West Side Avenue. I think I will be singing halleluiah when those potholes and sinkholes are finally gone.

Jersey City Crime: Stabbed to Death in Journal Square

Del — Fri, 08 May 2009 17:38:35 +0000

Here’s another murder in Jersey City: A man (Manuel Reyes, Sr) was stabbed to death in front of his apartment, news said. This happened Wednesday (May 6, 2009) and he was pronounced dead at 9:40PM at his place at Pavonia Avenue and Van Wagenen Avenue.

If my count is correct, Jersey City has already reached the double-digit mark for murder this year. And in Journal Square, I think this is the 3rd or 4th stabbing and this is the only incident resulted to death if my memory serves me right.

JSQ Resident Caught “Writing on the Wall”

Del — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 22:07:06 +0000

A Journal Square resident (Charles Shelton, 27, of Van Wagenen Avenue) was busted the other day along with his friend (Erik Whalen, 23, of Hudson Street in Hoboken) for writing/spraying on the wall of some stores on Sip Avenue and Van Wagenen Avenue, Jersey City.

Through the help of surveillance cameras (probably the ones from TWIN CITY, see map above), the two were seen doing their acts at Wednesday dawn. The police caught them hiding in a nearby alley with evidences still in their hands.

They probably are facebook users who love “writing on somebody else’s wall.” :mrgreen:

TWIN City Supermarket

TWIN City (facing Van Wagenen Avenue)

TWIN City in my opinion, is not located strategically. The entrance is on Sip Avenue, but the sign is facing Van Wagenen Avenue — not noticeable enough if you are new here in Journal Square.

TWIN City has a wide array of products. What makes it different from C-Town is its huge selection of meats. Not to mention fish and crab meats.

TWIN City also has ethnic items from South America and Asia. Products are cheap and parking is definitely not a problem.

Do you buy from this store?
